INAUGURAL INVITATIONAL A HUGE SUCCESS!
September 20-22nd of 2019, 36 of the top High School field hockey teams from across the nation came together at The Proving Grounds in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania with a common goal: to “Prove it on the Field.” These best of the best field hockey teams travelled from all 6 regions, 12 different states, and public/private/charter schools ranging anywhere from 300 students to 4,000 plus students. The level of play was premier and the competition was fierce. The 2019 MAX Field Hockey National High School Invitational was a one-of-a-kind field hockey event!

**THE MAX FIELD HOCKEY HIGH SCHOOL
NATIONAL INVITATIONAL IS NFHS SANCTIONED**
DATES: September 24-26, 2021
GAME TIMES: TBD (Friday afternoon/evening, All day Saturday, All day Sunday ending late afternoon)
SCHEDULING: Teams’ travel plans, individual state association’s rules, coach’s preferences, MAX Field Hockey’s rankings and expectations for 2020 are among the many criteria considered when putting together match-ups. Once the field of teams is finalized, we will send out a scheduling request form to all coaches where you can rank and say yes/no/maybe to which teams you are interested in playing and also let us know when you can and when you prefer to play.
LOCATION: The Proving Grounds (725 Conshohocken Rd, Conshohocken, PA 19428)
FIELDS: 5 identical turf fields striped for field hockey with lights and bleachers (All 5 turf fields are identical surfaces and the turf fiber height (1/4 inch shorter than standard fields) and consistency were specifically chosen to provide superior play for field hockey), plus 1 water-based Division 1 field hockey field (FIH Global Certified)–limited availability as it is currently the temporary home of USA Field Hockey’s National Teams–.
FORMAT: All games are official regulation NFHS games (2×30 minute halves with 10 minute halftime). Teams may select to play either 2 or 3 games. Games are scheduled in 2 hour blocks to allow for proper warm-up time and potential overtime.
COST: 2 games = $600, 3 games = $800 ($200 non-refundable deposit is due upon your acceptance to secure your spot. Balance due June 1, 2021. Please make checks Payable to: “MAXFH-PG Events” and mail to: 600 Old Elm Street Suite 100, Conshohocken, PA 19428)
WEATHER POLICY: In the event of inclement weather and full days missed, there may be a portion of your fee refunded or credited towards the following years. We will NOT refund or credit for portion of games being missed. The event reserves the right to alter all schedules in order to keep participants safe and/or to keep on time.
EXTRAS: We will provide A level officials, athletic trainers, water and ice. New in 2021: We are requiring the team designated as the “Home Team” to provide an official scorer for the score table for that game. If you are unable to provide one, you can pay a fee of $15 and we will assign someone.
TEAM/GAME LIMIT: While we expect our number of teams and games to grow from 2019, we plan to keep the level in 2021 elite and the best of the best. We can accommodate roughly 60-70 games throughout the weekend. The total number of teams accepted will depend on how many games each team requests to play and when teams can play.
INVITED TEAMS: All teams who were registered for the 2020 National Invitational are automatically invited to the 2021 Invitational. We are encouraging additional interested teams to submit an application and we will evaluate those as they come in. We will look at overall program strength, 2020 performance (if you had a season), and expected team strength in 2021.
ACCEPTANCE TIMELINE: We will communicate with teams individually upon receiving their application or registration. While there is no exact deadline for teams to register/apply by or to be accepted by, spots are limited and will be filled somewhat on a first-come, first-served basis. So while you may be granted an invitation by finishing in the Final 2020 rankings, as time moves on, we will begin to fill available spots and you may not be guaranteed a spot if you try to register later on. We will try our best to accommodate teams’ interest and let teams know as soon as we can if they are accepted or not, so they can plan accordingly.
